  • HSBC dev portal

    As a UX/UI Lead I contributed to the bank’s initiative to comply with PSD2 directive which promotes innovation, competition, and efficiency in the European financial market while increasing electronic payment security. UX/UI design for HSBC’s developer portal implementation enabled external organizations (such as FinTechs) to integrate APIs into their solutions . I collaborated within a multidisciplinary global team using agile practices, with distributed team members in Cracow, Hong Kong and London. We successfully  launched the developer portal ahead of the deadline, enabling the bank to comply with regulations and avoid fees.

  • J&J One Access Portal

    Redesign of the Johnson & Johnson One Access portal to enable external users to log in to all their authorized applications using a single set of credentials

    My design approach began with conducting user testing to establish benchmarks based on the legacy design, which informed subsequent design decisions. Throughout the project, I collaborated closely with product and development teams to create and refine wireframes. Following this, I produced and handed over high-fidelity designs. We then retested these new designs using a Figma prototype, ensuring they met our usability standards. 

Product design is a non-linear, iterative process and a constant journey of improvement and adaptation

Steps I might take to facilitate a project:


Discovery: This involves understanding the project/business goals, competitive landscape, and target audience: their needs, behaviors, and any constraints.

Effective communication processes with stakeholders: Ensure everyone is on the same page and can easily communicate with each other, which helps with transparency and a buy-in from stakeholders.

Research: Conduct the necessary research to gather information about the target audience and their needs. Methods vary depending on project needs: interviews, surveys, contextual inquiry… 

Concept Development/ UX strategy: Develop a concept for the design, taking into account the information gathered during research, alignment with other stakeholders like architecture, dev teams, legal teams, and other relevant teams that depend on the success of this project. Produce early diagrams or other files supporting strategy

Prototyping: Create low-fidelity or high-fidelity prototypes to test and refine the concept.

Testing: Conduct user testing to gather feedback and make improvements to the design on low-fidelity prototypes.

Design: Create high-fidelity designs for the solution, including wireframes, mockups, and prototypes.

Presentation and reports: Create presentations, reports and present them to stakeholders and management.

Implementation: Work with development teams to ensure the design is implemented as intended or adjust details in order to meet production limitations in a graceful way.

Iterative evaluation and design: Continuously evaluate the design and make changes based on user feedback, analytics, and business goals.

The specific steps may vary depending on the complexity of the project and the preferences of the UX & product stakeholders.
